I do not own naruto anime, manga or other released formats.

The life of Mikoto and Naruto was pretty happy all things considered. At this point in his life he decided to join Anbu. Most people consider him insane. Some others consider him too cruel. The Hokage sent the application to Sakumo who had gone back to his favorite position as their commander. The Anbu test was gruesome, painful, and a true nightmare. Some of the senior anbu joked that they could not pass it. Naruto did not only pass it, he passed it with perfect performance on all segments of the test. Everything from stealth, to kenjutsu was tested and he made it look easy. The commander was reading the newest bingo book and saw a picture of Naruto. He simply told the anbu watching. "This is a celebration of the birth of a new guardian of konoha. What would you expect from Konoha's Crimson Fiend. One of the anbu looked at him and she said, "I expect him to be royally pissed off when he finds he will not be able to use his comfy gear!" Every anbu laughed at the joke.

He appeared right behind her and said, "Says who? Ever hear of a henge?" She looked at the person behind her, and wondered why the man had an oni mask. "Well oni only you would do the test using a shadow clone." Now the anbu who had been watching the test looked shocked. He did all that with a shadow clone? "So Oni mind telling me why you did it?" Sakumo asked wanting the people to hear it. "I felt that it might be a challenge doing it that way. It would be too troublesome to do it normally,sir." The only person who was smiling was a Nara Clan member. Boy this guy sure knew how to surprise people. "Alright Oni, I have 6 bandit camps you need to exterminate, here are the locations." The commander tossed him the scroll and he caught it with one hand. "It should take you 2 days at most. So enjoy." said the commander smiling behind his mask. "Will do,sir." Naruto disappeared using the body flicker technique. "Why did you not ask him to change his gear,sir?" Sakumo looked at the people and answered, "Fear is a powerful tool. Those who read that entry in the bingo book will know what fear really is before they meet with their maker."

For the next 6 months he did the most horribly difficult missions. Tsunade began to wonder if he would ever be in a hospital. His home life was happy and his love for Mikoto grew with each day. He always had time for his wife, and even asked how she and their child was doing. Mikoto truly had a peaceful and happy pregnancy. That is until the day that her son was to be born. Her water broke and the pain of the contractions was clearly showing. Naruto and the medics got her to the delivery room. That is when the doctor told him to wait in the waiting room. When Mikoto heard that she yelled so that it was heard all the way to the waiting room, "No, get that bastard right there with me! I will rip his heart out and shove it straight into his... How dare he subject me to this. Bring him here so I can send him to hell for doing this to me!" Naruto sat down and looked shocked as his wife screamed a stream of death threats and insult. One of the men looked at him with pity. "Don't worry she is only dealing with her first child birth. It usually get better after this one. Believe me I have 4 and I am still alive."

After 7 horrible hours of worrying, and pacing in the waiting room. Each of the expecting fathers took turns in making the grove in the carpet floor get deeper. The doctor finally came out, "Mr. Uchiha, Mr Naruto Uchiha?" Naruto raised his face as he stopped walking. "Well congratulations Mr. Uchiha. You have a healthy baby boy. Come they both want to see you."

For someone who wanted to kill him a moment ago, Mikoto looked radiant, smiling and very happy with their baby in their arms. He had his black hair and his mother's eyes. "Sorry to make you suffer, my love." She stopped him by telling him, "This is a wonderful gift you have nothing to apologize for. But next time I want painkillers." Naruto looked at the doctor and said, "Me too." The doctor laughed as he took the baby and handed him to his father. "So what is his name? I need it for the register." Naruto waited for his wife to decide and she did smiling at her husband and child. "He is Itachi Uchiha." She told the doctor and he wrote it down. After much time, trouble and worry Itachi was born into the world. Naruto had now another reason why to grow stronger.

2 months later Kushina too was to give birth to a baby boy, and this time Naruto looked at Minato go through the sames things he did. Death threats and Insults included. He told him his experience and it made him feel relaxed a bit. He joked that thank goodness she wasn't a jinjuriki anymore. If she was she might actually kill him using one of the biju's techniques. Kurama laughed at him from inside Naruto. She sure would have done that, the pain of child birth was not something to be taken lightly even if that someone was the strongest of the tailed beasts. Little Menma Namikaze was born and he had the eyes of his father Minato, but the red hair of his mother. Naruto told the doctor that he hoped he wasn't born with the temper of his mother too. This made the entire room laugh, well all expect Kushina who just smiled.

Madara Uchiha was readying a new scroll that his trusted spy delivered to him. "So my grandson had a child of his own and even that Namikaze boy had a child. I am happy for my grandson. This will be the motivation he needs to grow stronger. Maybe he will be the one to save the 10 tails beast from her sad fate. I have to get moving and start the group already. I have much research to do. The extraction technique needs to be perfect. I will not have my grandson die no matter how noble this goal maybe."

Many double S rank missing ninja had heard of this new group that was forming. That Oni masked anbu killed all the weaker ones and the surviving once feared that he would go after them next. They each was given an invitation to join a secret group that would bring world peace. The leader was a ninja of the now dead village hidden in the whirlpools. Of all the missing ninja of that rank only 5 went to join. "We need 5 more, but it was a good start. Oni will take care of scaring some more our way." Madara began to think for himself as he looked at the progress the group was making. The akatsuki would be complete with 5 more members. Maybe he could get Tsunade to join them. They could always use someone with her medical knowledge, especially to perfect the extraction process."
